Woah the spoilers are out.
But the meeting wasn't as epic as I hoped, sigh. And her memories aren't back either.
Kamachi just barely avoided trolling the fans by at least telling their names to each other.

Well, considering that they are going to meet one hour later, we can suspect that they are going to meet in the Judgement office, where he will dispell the mind-control for all 3 of them.
So anticlimactic..

Other parts are hovewer more interesting
- Gensei trolling Misaki (and the look on her face).
- Saten teaming up with Xochitl and Mitori.
- Touma holding the charm with his left hand.

Touma begs Saten to lend him the charm. Saten tries to ignore him but can't, so she lends it to him.
Touma grabs it with his left hand so as not to negate its effects and agrees to meet her in front of a store in an hour.
(Or take it to the Judgment 177th Branch Office if they can't.) They exchange names and part ways.

Kuroko and Uiharu investigate Mitori in the Bank. They learn that Mitori already died of heart failure 2 months ago.
Further investigation proves her body was incinerated immediately after being found.
Kuroko ponders out loud whether she was given an autopsy or not and a Bank worker speaks up to suggest it was done to destroy the evidence before her real cause of death was discovered.
The worker mentions a rumor that students in AC's juvenile hall will occasionally disappear and the jailers will wave it off as nothing when it is reported.
Plus, everyone who disappears is a high level esper or an excellent student. The worker speculates that the city makes some kind of deal with the students and lets them out in secret.

After leaving Kamijou, Saten sneaks into Shinohara Material Factory. She spots two men transporting some kind of machinery.
While pursuing them, she enters a closed door. She tries to contact Uiharu but notices a presence and runs away.
A weapon then presses against her neck from behind. The weapon is held by Xochitl. Xochitl warns Saten not to turn around, to forget what she saw, and to leave without a word.
Xochitl pushes Saten away and Saten quickly flees. But then she turns around to say she doesn't know the way out and her backpack is sliced open.
Mitori comes out from a duct behind her. Saten screams and runs away.
Mitori asks why Xochitl let her go and Xochitl says the plan is in its final stage, so there is no way Saten would be able to interfere.
Mitori does not accept that answer and sends her subordinates after Saten.
Xochitl looks displeased but then receives a phone call. The name on the phone is "Professor".

Meanwhile, Misaki tries to take information directly from Gensei's brain, but her expression freezes in place and she rips off Gensei's skin.
Mikoto frantically asks her what she is doing, but the blank expression of an unfamiliar middle aged man appears below the skin.
Misaki looks panicked and runs out of the room.
According to what Misaki read from the man, everything went as Gensei had planned and he left a message for Misaki.
Gensei says, "Now, if you are reading this memory, we both know what the situation is.
If you are there then it means you are not "there". So will you be able to protect Exterior?"
Misaki continues running while wondering how Gensei knew about that.

Saten is easily captured and Mitori says to dispose of her after getting her to say why she snuck into the factory.
Mitori turns around saying she has somewhere to be, hears her subordinates groaning, and turns around to find Xochitl has defeated the subordinates.

Touma begs Saten to lend him the charm. Saten tries to ignore him but can't, so she lends it to him.
Touma grabs it with his left hand so as not to negate its effects and agrees to meet her in front of a store in an hour.
(Or take it to the Judgment 177th Branch Office if they can't.) They exchange names and part ways.

Im guessing he probably thinks it's one of Oriana's traps?
or maybe apart of the contest where he has to find a charm

No-one really knows.
It probably does not mean the Sister she captured, as she would not be surprised by him knowing it.
Some people mentioned that it could be the reference to NT7 (meaning that it will not be fully revealed what it is in the manga)Quote: "That" which is under direct control of Tokiwadai Middle School's Student Council

But it could also be anything else, maybe something she needs for her plans with the Sister.

Anyways, he wouldn't dispel it on purpose

He was probably referring to the fact it might fall apart if it was maintained by magic (like Index's slothes)

I suspect that the Exterior is a network of esper research and development facilities located outside of Academy City. The disappearances may be related to those espers being taken out of AC and into one of those facilities. And judging on who is involved (the infamous Kihara family), it involves so much darkness that the Radio Noise Project might be tame in comparison.

When they mentioned Exterior, automatically I related it with the cooperative institutions that are having custody of each Sister across the world.

Has there been any seemingly unimportant tibits that was hinted way back at the start of this arc?

Knowing how Nakamachi work there's a good chance he had left a clue.

I am not sure, but I don't remember anything except maybe the shadow metal, the urban legends site, Gunha - gemstones, the Rainbow Saten was able to follow, Baba , Xochitl and Mitori looking for Sister, Mitori mentioning "there seems to be some hope left, dosn't there" after her fight with Misaka, some information Misaki got from Uiharu day before, Misaki's breasts that deny physics ..

Yes - the skin on the fake Gensei was made by magic (but it was not show as she used it). Her weapon is also magical.
